Simon Hooper was lucky that the catastrophic mistake for Luis Diaz’s goal has taken the spotlight away from his terrible performance in our match against Tottenham Hotspur and now another error has come to light.
Inside the first five minutes of the match, a clash between Joe Gomez and Richarlison led to a free-kick for Spurs which seemed like the correct decision to be made.
However, what followed was the former Everton man following the referee asking for our No.2 to be punished further – before waving an imaginary card in his face.

The official, much like with what happened later in the game with Destiny Udogie, ignored this obvious bookable offence though…
